i just now saw this and im glad i didnt miss it, there is tons of awesomeness in this design, i love the 80's feel of it. im actually storyboarding a scene with people in a gravitron and was looking up reference for them all yesterday, you've really captured the spirit of that ride =)

In recent years, the Texas Giant was mostly scary for the amount of beating-up it did to you...years of maintenance had thrown it out of whack. It's hard to enjoy a coaster when you're being punched in the kidneys by the car.

However, it's been renovated with a steel track supported by wood superstructure (a hybrid coaster, rather than an all-wood), which should reduce the getting-rolled-outside-a-dive-bar effect.

Its based a Celtic eternal knot (if you wanted to know that). Each set of cars could be on opposite sides of the track, if you wanted to see it that way. This is because the sets of cars are all on there at the same time (at least that's how I thought of it) rather than imagining it as the path of one set of cars.

The front car on the right side is going under the track. I drew it slightly smaller to try and show that. I could draw part of it under the track... which it is too late to do now and you'll just have to use your imagination :P

The top part of the track can be imagined as twisting either direction depending on how you look at it, so those cars could go over or under the track (they're supposed to go under).

Oh geez I'm gonna draw a diagram of it when I come back from work, can't explain it. Trust me though, I did think about this while drawing it. They DO go in a continuous motion... according the original sketch before I scanned it in and desaturated it.

Best shirt in this derby. I don't mean this as a dig at the other designs, but this is one of only two shirts that have drawn my interest, and it's a shame it won't make it. Please find a place to print this shirt. Best non-winner since that little Viking kid in a boat with the sea monster far below.

One mooore thing; It does flip in the middle-bottom one there, just it's covered up by the top track. The track gets all skinny there before it gets covered up, seee? Maybe next time I'll draw a more DiVinci style diagram instead of loose ink sketch. Hope my clarification didn't make it look more confusing.
